HEART smiled as Silvana entered the restaurant. She was still in her uniform, having gone straight to the counter after her class.

“Aiz,” she nodded at her friend.

Silvana approached the counter immediately to take over. Heart greeted her with a serious expression.

“Hi,” Silvana said with a nod.

She gestured for Silvana to come to the receiving area near Vandros’ office to talk privately.

“How are you?” She asked Silvana as they walked. “Your papers are okay. In a week, you’ll have your Café.”

“I’m not good, Heart,” Silvana said, and Heart looked at her.

They sat on the sofa, and Ella quickly followed with a tray of juice and snacks.

“Thank you,” she said to Ella, who was staring at her.

“Ma’am,” Ella said, raising her eyebrows. “May I talk to Sir Vandros? I just have a question. I need help.”

Heart was about to ask what the problem was when Silvana spoke.

“You will never go wrong, Miss. Vandros does a lot of helping to his employees. I am one of those he helped before.”
